Corroded/cracking lug - how to fix? 531 tubing - images incl.

0 4
Hello all,

I have a late 80's Reynolds 532 frame here with a corroding head-downtube lug.

What are my options? I do have access to MIG and TIG machines at work and some pretty excellent welders that Icould convince to help if it was a thing. Is it as simple as that though? Just Dremel/file out the area and fill it up again, then work at it (round file, sand paper) until it looks good, paint, job done ?

Or?

I'd love to keep the original paint on unaffected areas if possible?

Excuse the mud, trust me, it gets more love, just what first looked like just a scratch in the paint (see dodgy paint touchup) has turned out to be a lot worse than originally thought.

I don't know what I don't know, so any tips appreciated :)
